The US reality TV series has attracted a massive celebrity following since it first aired on MTV and housemates Pauly D and Vinny can`t believe that people they have admired for years now approach them to tell them how much they love the show.

Pauly exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I just heard the other day that Jennifer Aniston is a fan of the show, I can`t believe that.

"I`m star-struck when these people come up to me, I don`t know what to say half the time, I don`t want to look like an idiot."

Vinny added: "Denzel Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio, all the biggest people, every day we?re meeting someone else who loves the show."

While Pauly - who has a DJ residency in Las Vegas - loves it when actors speak to him about `Jersey Shore` he admitted it is even more special when his musical heroes reveal themselves to be fans.

He said: "The most amazing thing to me is that these celebrities know who we are. Especially like musicians, I`m a DJ, I play music all the time, people whose music I`ve been playing my whole entire life know who we are. Rihanna, Kanye West, Usher they all know who we are!"

`Jersey Shore` airs every Tuesday at 10pm on MTV.
